Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Spako's Tower]
"Um, size s-sort of plays a part, I think? I-I mean reeeally big dragons seem to fly a little faster, um, but not much faster? A-and they can't turn a-as well so they sorta lose more than they gain."
They're getting sidetracked again. They're good at this.
"It's more about, um, working your wings out a-and keeping a healthy body weight. But, uh, your wings are kinda different and your body is a-a slightly different shape so, um, I don't know exactly?"
So good at this.
Sylvess blinks and refocuses on the literal deity in the room, instinctively cowering slightly as he realises he's not giving her his full attention.
"U-uh, right, yes. I-" He pauses and glances awkwardly at Spako. "W-we maybe should've figured out exactly how we'd like to do this. But, um, I think we want the change to be temporary. W-we would like to make sure it, um, works first time, a-and if possible I need to ensure there's one pure copper dragon in the clutch." He scratches his neck with a claw. "It's, um, more than any potion could really do a-and a lot to ask a deity to do, a-and I figured the only way to know if it's even possible was to...ask?"

"I love you too, Wings." She chuckles, reaching back to brush his wings with one hand. "You're an absolute angel, helping me out with all this." And with that awful one-liner to end things on, she'll poof them both back out of the demiplane to get on with their respective tasks.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Spako’s Tower]
Spako nods, a little embarrassed as letting them get sidetracked, even though Winry doesn’t seem to mind.
”Well alright then boys, I can help you both be parents if that’s what you want. Now rules say I’m supposed to ask something of you in return...but I’ve never really needed much. So! How about you let me throw you an extra blessing or two or so while I’m doing this for you? I never get to flex my powers on people. I’ll even bless one of your hatchlings! No one ever wants nice things from me, it’s always just making crops grow and help with milking the goats.”
Spako looks at Sylvess. That doesn’t...sound so bad?Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
The three Danir children who are all different people except for being aspects of the same person each greet the uniformed Minotaur.
"Good morning, squire."
Good morning, Koshal.
"Hey kid. Hey Faye."
"Allow us to present to you with a noble steed!" says one of them, reaching out to grab the curtain and make it vanish.
Behind the curtain stands a weird critter. You know how Leahs are with their weird animals. You're lucky you ever got something as normal as a blink dog, Koshal.
It's big. And long.
The reindeer and the yol make the largest contribution to its appearance, but it's not a half-and-half creature like a griffin. All six legs end in hooves, and most all of it is feathery. It has two tails (of course it does, with Leah involved, and Koshal even brought two two-tailed animals to start with), a short catlike face (very cute, right Koshal?), and an impressive set of antlers.
I'm sure it's a good boy.

Truly, the one tailed denizens like Koshal, Faye, and Mist are outnumbered by their two-tailed compatriots.
Koshal grins immediately, going up to to big critter and trying to gently stroke its long neck.
”He’s adorable, does he have a name?” he asks the assembled Leah’s.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Oh come on, Batu, it will be fun," Div tells the hobgoblin. He's holding his hand in the casual way they began to weeks or months ago. "I bet I'll like her too. She sounds like... me. And well, my mom always said I seemed to get along with girls better than I did boys..." Div rubs the back of his head in embarrassment.
He looks up when Jim answers. Another handsome young fella. "Hiii," Div just sort of pipes awkwardly, waving his hand. You know what else Div is? Bad at meeting new people!My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Jim uncharacteristically breaks eye contact and even flushes a bit.
"Oh, uh. That's nice of you, Batu. But um, Syela and I broke up a while back. So I uh, I wouldn't have a date." This sure is embarrassing. Jim hasn't been on this end of this kind of conversation in quite a while.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Oh. I'm sorry. Uhm..." Div shuffles his feet his hand palm up. "We could just go with the three of us? It could be fun!" Though it even sounds a little less enthusiastic with Div saying it. He isn't much good at any of this, but even he can see the problem with Jim coming along and no date to accompany him.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Spako's Tower]
"O-oh, you mean it's something you can just, um, do right now?" Sylvess gives a rather anxious look at Spako. This had very quickly gone beyond just figuring out if it was something that could be done.
But if she's offering to be helpful and throw in bonus blessings without asking for anything in return, how could they possibly refuse?
Wait, what the heck is a bonus blessing? It has to be a good thing, right? It is a blessing, after all.
"I-I-I'm sorry, I-I just wasn't e-e-e-expecting it to be something that could just be done, y'know? I-I-I figured it might take a few tries to find someone who could do what we're a-a-asking for a-a-and then we'd have to do something for them and, um, sorry?"
Keep it up, Sylvess. You're doing great.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

”Well, that’s just the excellent service you get with me. Comes with the territory when you absorb the power of an ancient dead god but then end up a goddess so poorly known that you have a pile of divine juice to work with and nobody asking for anything. But anyway yes, I bop you two on the nose and then there’s just the doing the deed part. Bam, dragon parents. That’s it.” She winks at the two dragons.
”Well, that sounds easy. And...that second part wouldn’t be now.” Spako suggests.
Winry laughs. ”Well of course it won’t be now, silly! I haven’t bopped you on the nose yet. I’m also still here. Even I’m not that prying.” Spako stammers something incoherent and turns away.

Koshal looks up smiling at the big chimeric creature.

Batu has the expression of someone who really wish the sky would open and send a bolt to strike him down where he stands. Then at least he wouldn't feel so intensely awkward.

Winry has successfully made two dragons both look very flustered.
"I- w-well if you're sure about it then, Spako, I guess I am too. So, um, yes?" Sylvess coughs. "Um, yes please Missus Goddess." He even managed to ask nicely!
Admittedly Sylvess hasn't managed to keep his bashfulness in control enough to take his gaze away from the floor for the past couple of minutes, but he's trying!Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Sylvess gets a knowing smile.
”It’s Winry, dear. And I wish you the best with your upcoming parenthood. Boop!” She touches them both on the very ends of their noses. Both dragons immediately feel a sensation of warmth spreading throughout their bodies.
”Have fun you two!”

Sylvess hears a groaning and probably realizes that Spako is curled up next to him.
"Uuugh. Yeah. Maybe." Spako stretches out, still flopped on the floor. He looks up at Sylvess, bleary-eyed.
"Did you do something with your horns?" he asks groggily.
Come to think of it, isn’t there something different about Spako as well?Last edited by Deathkeeper; 2020-01-05 at 11:09 PM.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
Spoiler: Down's Lair of Moderate Festivity
Oh boy they sure are pushing this hard, huh.
It's with great reluctance that Down doesn't pull away from Lucky's clinking and greater reluctance still that she fails to burn that Thanksmas tree to the ground.
Slightly less reluctance that she swipes a brownie, but it's also entirely possible she's eating that to buy herself some time away from Morning's question.
It's a rather good question.
What is she thankful for?
There's the obvious and incredibly trite "my handful of friends not being dead", but she isn't nearly drunk enough to admit something like that. Not in front of Lucky, anyway.
Could just be a butt and say "this alcohol", but she suspects Morning Glory wouldn't let her get away with that either.
What then?
After that little comment about how nice it is being with friends and how "home"y this forsaken city is, she's probably expecting something poignant.
She doesn't know how to do poignant.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Spako’s Tower]
Spako stands up, a little more awake.
”What in the Hells kind of question is that?” he asks, turning around a few times to try and figure out what Sylvess is staring at. Which will only prove to Sylvess that something is definitely different. Notably that Spako looks like he’s been on Sylvess’ flight training and diet regiment for fifteen years. And there have definitely been a few minor (and one major) alterations to his looks, starting on his nose and horns and going all the way back. He’d look quite stunning really, if he wasn’t sore everywhere and grumpy from Sylvess being crass in the morning.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Your butt. It's...bigger. A-and you also have, uh, I-I dunno how best to- th-there's just kinda more you, a-and it, um, y-you look really good." Which is a perfect cue for Sylvess to turn around and hide his face in embarrassment, giving Spako an excellent view of just how much Sylvess' figure has been "enhanced".
Although comparatively speaking, since Sylvess already had pretty good flight form, he probably ends up looking a little less athletic as a result of these changes, but considerably cuter.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
